Marshmallow Foundation

Marshmallow Animal Shelter is a “low kill” shelter. This is very important to all of us and we believe in it with all of our hearts. The animals that are brought to us as “strays” are held for five (5) business days. After that hold period is up, we have the right to have that animal euthanized. We wanted to give animals a second chance at finding new homes so we chose to have a policy where we only euthanize if there are extenuating circumstances. We do our very best to not give up on any animal brought to our doorstep! Because we are committed to caring for these animals until we can find them appropriate homes, many are with us for a very lengthy period. On average, we have over 40 cats and 15 dogs to care for while they wait to find new homes and families. We do not give them time limits. But to do this requires support from our public. In addition to finding homes for these pets, Marshmallow Animal Shelter also works closely with local and regional service dog training programs and police departments. We are proud to have had several shelter dogs go on to help people or places in need! The staff and volunteers of Marshmallow Animal Shelter work hard every single day providing for the animals that have no other place to go. They do this because it is in their heart and it feeds their soul. Please help them continue to care for these pets in need and provide a safe haven for them until they find new families and homes. Please consider making a donation to ensure that these animals have someplace to go when they need it most. Thank you!

Meet Boss

Boss is the ultimate senior gentleman, a 12-year-old beefcake with a heart of gold and a soulful gaze that’ll make you feel like the most important person in the world. Don’t let his age fool you—Boss still has a playful spark, whether it’s a leisurely stroll in the park, a game of gentle tug-of-war, or simply basking in the sun while you scratch his favorite spot behind his ears.   This sweet boy thrives on affection and is happiest when he’s by your side, soaking up all the love you can give. Boss is the definition of loyal—he’ll follow you from room to room, always ready to offer a warm nuzzle or a contented sigh as he curls up at your feet. His gentle demeanor makes him a perfect match for a calm household where he can be the star of the show. While he’s polite with other dogs, Boss prefers to be the main focus of your attention, making him an ideal companion for someone looking for a devoted one-on-one buddy. His ideal day? A short morning walk, a hearty breakfast, and plenty of quality time with his favorite human—whether that’s binge-watching your favorite show or reading a book with Boss snoozing nearby. Why Boss?Adopting a senior dog like Boss means opening your home to a companion who’s already mastered the art of love. He’s past the puppy shenanigans and ready to offer unwavering devotion, gratitude, and the kind of companionship that only a seasoned soul can provide. If you’re looking for a gentle giant to share quiet evenings, heartfelt moments, and unconditional love, Boss is your guy.   Visitors to the shelter are by appointment only and after a form has been submitted online:  https://www.marshmallowfoundation.org/forms/  

Adoption Process
Marshmallow Animal Shelter wants to make certain that every animal adopted goes to a loving home where it will be well cared. Because of this, our application asks a number of detailed questions, which are necessary for our screening process. Our application will ask you to what lengths you are willing to go, in order to accommodate the animal's needs and training. You must be able to show commitment of time, finances, energy and compassion to the animal. Once your application is approved, we require that you sign a contract guaranteeing non-transferal/sale of animal, its proper care, and spay/neuter surgery if not already done.
